Washburn disliked in Philly

Washburn operated apart from Castillo, running his own little defensive line fiefdom and often either ignoring Castillo or derisively calling him "Juanita" in front of his players, the veteran defensive player said. He was condescending and confrontational and embarrassed Castillo frequently in meetings and at practice and also went over the line criticizing his players at times.

​

The current Eagles assistant coach said both Washburn and Mudd looked down on the other position coaches, held themselves in higher regard than the others and rarely interacted with their colleagues.​

"Did you ever see Howard or Wash walk off the field after practice with another position coach or one of the coordinators?" he said. "Nope. They were either by themselves or with each other."​

Even after Castillo was fired in October and replaced by Todd Bowles, a respected veteran defensive coach, Washburn continued to be difficult, the defensive player said. And when slumping one-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Babin, who he had coached for years in Tennessee and was very close with, was released last week, Washburn became more disruptive than ever.​

“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

Can't blame Washburn for the way he acted. Read the whole article. It said he did not have respect for other coaches and the DC. Well, coach is a position you hold. Respect is something you have to earn.

Not true... Systems always work when you have elite players. The wide9 worked when we had Haynesworth. You lose an elitel level player and the system looks flawed.For example, Brady Quinn can run the same system as Brady but that doesnt mean he will be as successful.
